You
ask me if there'll come a time
When
I grow tired of you
Never
my Love
Never
my Love
You
wonder if this heart of mine
Will
lose its desire for you
Never
my Love
Never
my Love
What
makes you think love will end
When
you know that my whole life depends
On
you (on you)
Never
my Love
Never
my Love
You
say you fear I'll change my mind
And I
won't require you
Never
my Love
Never
my Love
How
can you think love will end
When
I've asked you to spend your whole life
With
me (with me, with me).
WHERE DREAMS GO TO DIE
JOHN GRANT
SONGWRITER: JOHN GRANT
WHERE: IN CONCERT 2011
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
ALBUM: QUEEN OF DENMARK
LABEL: BELLA UNION
GENRE: INDIE
YEAR: 2010
American singer-songwriter, born 25 July 1967 in
Buchanan, Michigan, USA. Formerly associated with the Denver-based alternative
rock band The Czars in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Although co-founded by John Grant and Chris Pearson, the
Czars were always Grant’s band, with most of the group’s acclaim stemming from
his deep, resonant vocals and songwriting. The
frontman reportedly butted heads with his four bandmates, but such creative
tension helped mold the Czars into an eclectic group, and Grant’s voice --
despite being the cornerstone of every Czars album -- wouldn’t have shined as
brightly without the dreamy, shoegazing music that flanked it. Queen of Denmark,
his first release without the Czars, lacks that creative tension. Although
recorded with Midlake (the band even shares billing in the album’s title), it
feels more like a solo release, lacking both the cohesion of a proper lineup
and the checks-and-balances system that Grant’s former bandmates provided. Left to his own devices, he
unknowingly dilutes his strengths, whether he’s trading poetry for campy lyrics
(“I wish I had the brain of a Tyrannosaurus Rex so I wouldn’t have to deal with
all this crap”) or aiming for a contemporary version of ‘70s soft rock and
coming up with mundane Americana instead. There’s no hiding the fact that Grant
is a seriously talented vocalist, and the album’s best moments occur whenever
he tones down the camp and, with a mix of Eddie Vedder’s baritone and Tim
Buckley’s vibrato, reaches for the heartstrings instead. But with song titles
like “Sigourney Weaver” and “Jesus Hates Faggots,” Queen of Denmark is
more concerned with Grant’s cynicism.
Your
beauty is unstoppable; your confidence unspeakable.
I
know you know I know you know that I know that you know.
I'm
willing to do anything to get attention from you, dear,
Even
though I don't have anything that I could bargain with.
This
is like a well-oiled machine. Could I please see that smile again?
It's
all that makes me feel that I am living in this world
I see
you closing all the doors. I see the walls as they go up
I
know it's what you have to do. I'd probably do the same thing, too, my dear.
Baby, you're where dreams go to die.
I
regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye.
Baby, you're where dreams go to die.
I've
got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try.
Oh,
baby!
You
have to play your part, my dear. I've written it all down for you.
It
doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true.
Just
do it then I'll let you go. Just say the words and say them slowly.
I
promise I'll tell no one. Yes, I cross my heart and hope to die
Baby, you're where dreams go to die.
I
regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye.
Baby, you're where dreams go to die.
I've
got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try.
Oh,
baby!
Baby, you're where dreams go to die.
I
regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye.
Baby, you're where dreams go to die.
I've
got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try.
Oh,
baby!
Oh,
baby!
Oh,
baby!
Oh,
baby, please!

"Til
It Happens to You" is a song produced and performed by American Singer Lady
Gaga. She co-wrote the song with Diane Warren for the 2015 documentary film The
Hunting Ground, which deals with campus rape in the United States. The song had
leaked onto the Internet through an unofficial recording made at the film's
premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. It was later released by Interscope
Records to digital retailers on September 18, 2015. The director and producer of the
film had looked for someone influential to write a song for it, and music
supervisor Bonnie Greenberg contacted Warren who was interested. She wrote the
song with Gaga and producer Nile Rodgers accompanied them during the recording,
providing his suggestions.
A universal song about any kind of loss in life,
"Til It Happens to You" was placed during two sequences in the film,
highlighting the pain of sexual assault. The song consists of an orchestral production
with strings, and an emotional vocal delivery from Gaga. Lyrically it asks
listeners to stand in a victim's position and try to understand the turmoil
they go through. "Til It Happens to You" was later included as part
of a public service announcement video directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The
video depicts various instances of violence against women and sexual assaults.
It ends with a cautionary note about the effects of such distress, and individuals
finding solace with their close friends and relatives.
You tell me it gets better, it gets better in time
You say I'll pull myself together, pull it together,
you'll be fine
Tell me, what the hell do you know? What do you know?
Tell me how the hell could you know? How could you know?
Till
it happens to you, you don't know how it feels, how it feels
Till
it happens to you, you won't know, it won't be real
No,
it won't be real, won't know how it feels
You
tell me hold your head up, hold your head up and be strong
'Cause
when you fall you gotta get up, you gotta get up and move on
Tell
me how the hell could you talk, how could you talk?
'Cause
until you walk where I walk, this is no joke
Till
it happens to you, you don't know how it feels, how it feels
Till
it happens to you, you won't know, it won't be real
(how
could you know?)
No it
won't be real
(how
could you know?)
Won't
know how I feel
Till
your world burns and crashes
Till
you're at the end, the end of your rope
Till
you're standing in my shoes
I
don't wanna hear a thing from you, from you, from you
'Cause
you don't know
Till
it happens to you, you don't know how I feel, how I feel
How I
feel
Till
it happens to you, you won't know, it won't be real
(how
could you know?)
No,
it won't be real
(how
could you know?)
Won't
know how it feels
Till
it happens to you
Happens
to you
Happens
to you
Happens
to you
Happens
to you
Happens
to you
(how
could you know?)
Till
it happens to you
You
won't know how I feel.
